Donald Trump and his wife Melania attended Easter services at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal church in Palm Beach. It was said to be Melania’s first public appearance with Trump since the adult film star Stormy Daniels described her affair with Trump in a “60 Minutes” interview.

The president earlier had tweeted “Happy Easter,” and it may have seemed that appearing with his wife was in the spirit of the religious holiday.

But … no.

The essence of piety ... not

Not long after his Easter greeting Trump went on an angry, even hateful tweet storm aimed at Democrats (naturally), refugees and young people living in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects from deportation children brought into the country by parents who were undocumented immigrants.

Trump tweeted:

Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. “Caravans” coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!

Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!

What the Episcopal priest said

I’m guessing that Trump, a big fan of Fox News, didn’t read it.

In part, Gunn wrote, “We Christians believe that Jesus Christ was sent by God the father to live among us, to show us perfect love. Jesus loved outcasts and sinners. Jesus offered hope and healing. Jesus said that our joy is found in sacrificial generosity, not in accruing possessions.”

Loving outcasts and sinners, offering hope and healing?

Not on Trump’s Easter.

What Easter is all about

Gunn wrote, “Easter shows us that perfect love always wins. In the end, whatever powerful people might try to do to silence love, God’s way is always stronger.”
